CHAPTER I, 




The Beagle — Formation of the First Club — Personnel of the Membership — 
Standard Adopted — Well-Known Breeders of the Beagle. 

A writer in a Boston newspaper recently 
claimed that the favorite lap-dog of Cleo- 
patra, 2,000 years ago, was a Beagle, and an 
eminent authority in the kennel world has 
stated that there is reason to believe that 
packs of Beagles were common in England at 
the time of the Eoman Conquest. 
Both statements admit of argument, but, however interest- 
ing such a discussion might prove to be, lack of space forbids en- 
tering upon it here. Yet, of the great antiquity of this breed, 
there can be no doubt. In the days of early English literature. 
Beagles were well known. Chaucer and Shakespeare sing of 
them and the oldest books on sport describe them. 

Their origin and early history, however, is lost in obscurity, 
though there is no good reason to doubt that they were bred by 
selection from the Foxhound till the desired size and qualities 
were obtained. The first pack of which the dog-loving anti- 
quarian has found any trace is that of Queen Elizabeth, and 
even here truth and fiction are so intermingled that it is difficult 
to distinguish one from the other. 

That the Queen owned a pack of Pocket Beagles is easy to be- 
lieve, but that the dogs were so small that one could be put in a 
man's glove tests our credulity. However, these brief chapters 
are not to deal with prehistoric fancies or early English 
doggy history, but with the story of the Beagle in this country. 
The first Beagles were probably brought to America by sport- 
loving immigrants from England, who also brought with them 



Jt) THE BEAQLE ANJJ 

the Foxhound. Little care, however, was taken in breeding 
them, and ahnost nothing is known of their liistory. 

An old sportsman who was familiar with the so-called Beagles 
of 70 years ago says that the majority were long-bodied, crooked- 
legged dogs, usually black and tan in color, with snipy muzzles 
and rather short ears. Such dogs are frequently seen in the 
Southern States today. 

But it was not till the late '70s, when dog shows began to be 
])()pular. tliat Beagle interests attracted any attention, and it 
was still later, in '84, before any organized efforts were made in 
llieir behalf. In that year a number of prominent fanciers 
fonned the American-English Beagle Club, a name that was 
later changed to the American Beagle Club. The first president 
was Mr. W. H. Ashburner of Philadelphia, and the secretary- 
treasurer was Mr. F. W. AVlieaton of Wilkesbarre, Pa. A consti- 
tiition and by-laws were adopted, and a standard was drafted by 
Dr. L. H. Twaddell, Philadelphia; Gen. Eichard Row^ett, Car- 
liusville, 111., and Mr. Norman Elmore, Granby, Conn. — three 
names which will always be prominent in Beagle history. 

This standard remained in force up to the present year, when 
it was revised by a committee of the National Beagle Club. A 
few changes were made in the head, but the standard as a whole 
is today practically that formulated by the old American Club. 
It provides that the skull shall be moderately domed. The ears 
set low, rounded at the tips, with the front edge closely framing 
and inturned to the cheek; Avith an almost entire absence of 
erectile power and long enough to reach almost, if not quite, to 
the end of the muzzle. The eyes soft and lustrous, brown or 
hazel in color, and set wide apart. The muzzle of medium length 
and squarely cut, stop moderately defined and lips free from 
Hews. The neck must rise light from the shoulders and be of 
jiiedium length, with the threat clean and free from folds of 
skin. The shoulders declining, muscular, but not loaded. The 
chest moderately broad and full. The back short, muscular and 
strong, and the loin broad and slightly arched. The ribs well 
sprung. The forelegs straight, with plenty of bone, and the feet 
close, firm and round. The hips strongly muscled and the stifles 
strong and well let down. The hocks firm, symmetrical and 



THE FIELD TRIALS. 




MR. POTTINGER DORSEY. 



Mr. Pottinger Dorsey, the leading devotee of the thoroughbred Bea- 
gle Hound in Western Maryland, was a member of the well-known Dor- 
sey family of Howard and adjoining counties. For many years prior to 
his death he had resided at New Market, Frederick county, seven miles 
from Frederick City. He took the true sportsman's delight in all things 
pertaining to the breeding of fine strains of animals for the fields and 
woods. The Beagle was his ideal, in a certain sense, of the true hunting 
dog, and the time and attention he gave to the development of this ani- 
mal were well repaid by the results that followed his efforts. The fame 
of his kennels had reached to a wide circuit before his death, and the 
popularity of his strains was rapidly increasing. He was a gentleman 
of the old school in the true sense of that term, honored and respected 
by the people of his own community, and appreciated by all who came in 
contact with his fine spirit of manhood and unswerving integrity. His 
word for the quality of a dog was as good as a bond. He had no ordi- 
nary mercenary spirit in the breeding business, but took pride in the de- 
velopment of a perfect animal as an artist in any line takes pride in the 
outcome of his efforts. The association of his name with the breeding 
business in Maryland gave that calling dignity and high standing. It 
taught those who came to know him that men who undertake the develop- 
ment of the dog are by no means triflers or experimenters, but trained, 
skillful and well equipped for their work by all-round culture and 
special study of the traits and habits of animals. Mr. Dorsey's death 
left the community in which he had established his name poorer for the 
loss of one of the best citizens it had ever known, and to devotees of the 
dog was the distinct loss of one of their most valuable and enthusiastic 
cohorts. 



1:^ THE BEAGLE AND 

moderately bent. The coat rather coarse and of good length. 
The tail carried gayly, well up and with a decided brush. The 
height must not exceed 15 inches, measured at the shoulders, 
and any hound color is admissible. 

In short, the Beagle, in the words of the standard, should be 
•'■'a miniature Foxhound, solid and big for his inches, with the 
wear and tear look of the dog that can last in the chase and fol- 
low his quarry to the death." 

Tpon the adoption of the standard the American Beagle Club 
Induced the bench shows to make a more generous classification 
for the little hounds, and offered many special prizes at the 
principal shows. The results of the club's efforts soon became 
apparent. Beagles were bred to conform to the standard, and in 
a few years the quality was wonderfully improved. 

The numbers at the bench shows increased from small classes 
of six or eight indifferent hounds to large ones of 30 or -iO 
which showed type and quality. The public, too, was quickly 
educated to that point where it was able to distinguish between 
a thoroughbred Beagle and a Eabbit dog, and this was a long 
step in the right direction, for, previous to the organization 
of the club, any dog that would drive a rabbit was popularly 
known as a Beagle — no matter what its size, appearance or 
breeding indicated. 

But there was the same inherent weakness in the American 
Beagle Club that has proved fatal to many specialty clubs. The 
members were widely scattered. Most of them were unac- 
quainted with their fellows, and there was no annual meet to 
draw them together. Hence, after the initial energy had been 
expended, the club naturally fell into a comatose state and in 
that condition it existed until '91, kept alive only by the un- 
flagging zeal and devotion of its last president, Mr. H. F. Schell- 
hass of New York. In that year it was merged into the National 
Beagle Club, and with its existence terminated that period of 
Beagle history in which the only aim of the specialty club was 
the improvement of the Beagle on the bench. 

But the American Club did its work well. It lirought the 
l>eagle from an obscure position to a prominent place in the 
kounel world, and to the members of the pioneer club the Beagle 
Avorld oAves a lasting debt of gratitude.

1.1, THE BEAGLE AND 

AiiiODg tlio principal iancicrs and breeders of that day besides 
those whose names have already been given in connection with 
the American Club were Dr. J. W. Downey, Gen. F. A. Bond, 
Capt. William Assherton, Messrs. Colin Cameron, George Pow- 
iiell, J. N. Dodge, George Peters, Pottinger Dorsey, A. C. 
Kreuger, Dan O'Shea, William D. Crittendon, Prof. W. W. 
Ijegare and a number of others. 

The kennels of many of these gentlemen became celebrated, 
but none were better known or will be longer remembered than 
those of General Rowett, Mr. Norman Elmore and Mr. Pottin- 
ger Dorsey. The former was among the first to import thor- 
oughbred Beagles from England, and his Sam, Moll and Pilot 
were the foundation of the strain that came to be known as the 
"Rowett" Beagles. 

Mr. Elmore, too, was a purchaser of the best English blood, 
and many of the hounds of the present day trace their pedigree 
back to his imported Eingwood. 

But of all the early breeders Mr. Dorsey is doubtless the best 
known. His love for the Beagle lasted from boyhood to the day 
of his death. He was a patron of bench shows and field trials, 
widely known among Beagle men and a favorite with all. Among 
his Beagles 20 years ago were Mars, Mark Antony, Romeo, 
Rally wood. Major, Diana, Yenus, Music, Vesper, Juliet, Ringlet, 
Flora, Countess, Lee, and from his kennels came Glory, Doub's 
Topsy, Twinkle, Fitzhugh Lee, Storm, Emeline, Jupiter, Poto- 
mac, Cloud and others whose names will go down in Beagle 
history. His kennels were celebrated for years and his strain 
contained as good hunting and show blood as was to be found 
in this country. 



CHAPTER IL 




Organisation of the National Beagle Qub — First Field Trial in This Country 

The "Winners — The Second and Third Trials, With the 

Winners — Officers Elected. 

In the spring of 1890 the condition of af- 
fairs in the Beagle world was so unsatisfactoiy 
to a number of Massachusetts sportsmen that 
they issued a call, inviting all who favored the 
organization of a new Beagle club to attend a 
meeting to be held at Boston during the an- 
nual bench show of the New England Kennel 
Club. At this meeting there was a large attendance, much 
enthusiasm was shown and the National Beagle Club was organ- 
ized under the happiest auspices, with Mr. 0. W. Brooking as 
president and Mr. F. W. Chapman as secretary and treasurer. 

The constitution of the new club was an ambitious document. 
Not only did it propose to continue the work begun by the 
American Beagle Club in promoting the interests of the Beagle 
on the bench, but it went even further and provided for the 
holding of annual Beagle field trials. This proposition was a 
novel one. No trials of the kind had ever been held, and to make 
them a possibility demanded a vast deal of hard work in formu- 
lating running rules, deciding upon proper classes, securing 
Judges and finding suitable field trial grounds. Some Beagle 
fanciers whose aid had been expected in the preliminary work 
satisfied themselves with pointing out the impossibility of bring- 
ing the trials to a successful conclusion, and others thought 
the opportunity for ridiculing the new club and its plans too 
good to lose and many a Joke was cracked at the expense of its 
promoters. The officers and members of the National Beagle 



16 THE BEAGLE AND 

Club, however, were in earnest, and, despite all discourage- 
ments, running rules were printed and the announcement made 
that the first annual field trials would be held at Hyannis, Mass., 
on November 4, 1890. 

On the appointed date there were present at that lively little 
town on Cape Cod, Messrs. 0. W. Brooking, F. W. Chapman, 
Arthur Parry, P. W. Eutter, Jr., A. R. Crowell, C. E. Peabody. 
W. A. Power, Bradford S. Turpin, and the judges, Messrs. H. 
W. Lacy and Joe Lewis. To these gentlemen, with Messrs. W. 
S. Clark, H. V. Jamiesou, John Peabody and Capt. George P. 
Berry, who joined the party later in the week, must be given the 
honor of bringing to a successful conclusion the first Beagle field 
trials ever held, and thereby doing more for the advancement 
of Beagle interests in this country than could ever have been 
accomplished by bench shows alone. 

It was with high hopes that the little party of sportsmen set 
out on a cold Tuesday morning to begin the running of the 
trials, but it took only a short time to discover that the scrub- 
oak thickets and briery swamps of Cape Cod were as unsuitable 
a place for holding such a contest as could well be found. It was 
impossible for the judges to follow the Beagles closely; rabbits 
were scarce and the hunting grounds were far from headquar- 
ters. But what was to be done and where could the club go to 
find more game and better grounds? The question was a serious 
one and demanded a speedy answer, for it was evident that time 
spent at Hyannis Avas worse than wasted. 

Mr. Putter was master of the situation. He proposed a 
change of base to Salem Depot, JST. H., where he promised suita- 
ble grounds, plenty of rabbits and excellent accommodations. 
His plan was adopted unanimously, and, at an hour's warning, 
the sportsmen shook the sand of Cape Cod from their feet and 
were en route for the new grounds in New Hampshire. There 
Mr. Eutter took entire charge of the party, and it would be im- 
possible to give too much praise to him for the energy and gener- 
osity he displayed in piloting the club through the most critical 
moment of its history. To him more than to any one man is due 
the satisfactory conclusion of the trials.

was complete. No ciub ever worked harder to attain its end, 
and none ever met with less encouragement ajid assistance, but 
never disheartened, it i^ressed forward till it proved, beyond 
question, that field trials for Beagles could be run as successfully 
and easily as those for Pointers and Setters. At these inaugural 
1 rials there were 21 entries. Four all-age classes were made, the 
sexes being run separately and divided by size. The highest 
honors were won by Frank Forest, then owned by ]\Ir. Arthur 
I'arry, but during the last years of his'life the property of the 
liockland Kennels. Frank's work on this occasion was excellent. 
He ran with great dash and judgment and showed a splendid 
nose and plenty of endurance. As a bench and field winner, and 
as the sire of some of the best Beagles of their day, he has left 
a proud record. 

Glenrose Kennels' Tone also showed splendid field qualities 
and was doubtless the best Beagle ever started by that kennel 
(luring its field-trial history. Belle Eoss, the 13-inch winner, 
deserves a word of praise, and Gypsy Forest, June Eose and 
Baby Deane should not be forgotten. 

After the success of the Beagle field trials became assured, 
the National Club increased rapidly in membership and influ- 
ence. In February, 1891, it absori)ed the American Beagle Club, 
and soon after became a member of the American Kennel 
CJlub — an honor which had previously been denied it. Its sec- 
ond field trials were held at ISTanuet, N. Y., and were notable for 
the large increase in the entry list and for the number of Bea- 
gle men who were brought together at the Kreuder homestead, 
where the club was invited to make its headquarters. Among 
the newcomers were Dr. Edwin Field, Messrs. H. F. Schellhass, 
John Bateman, C. S. Wixom, George Laick and William H. 
Ashburner. The judges were Messrs. Pottinger Dorsey and W. 
S. Clark. All were most hospitably entertained by Mr. H. L. 
Kreuder and the trials were a great success. 

The highest honors were won by Mr. AVilliam H. Childs' Tony 
Weller, a champion on the bench, and a dashing, stylish worker 
in the field. Forest Beagle Kennels' June Eose carried off first 
prize in the 15-inch class for bitches, and in the small classes 
first honors went to Mr. Turpin's Clyde and Belle Eoss, the

A Derby was run for the first time. It was open only to Bea- 
gles 13 months and under in age, and the work was, as might 
have been expected, unsatisfactory. 

The third annual field trials saw further increase in the num- 
l)er of entries, and several ncAv faces among the spectators at 
Manuel. Messrs. J. W. Appleton, C. Staley Doub, Henry Han- 
son and others attended for the first time. The judges were 
Messrs. W . 8. Clark and Joe Lewis, and the "absolute winner"" 
of the trials was Mr. Pottinger Dorsey's Lee II., a grand dog, 
tliat won his title by defeating Clyde, Millard, June Eose and 
Zillali, the winners in the various classes. The work of Millard, 
the Derby winner, was phenomenal, and it is doubtful if it has 
ever been excelled in that class. The best of feeling prevailed 
throughout the meet, and the victory of Mr. Dorsey was a thor- 
oughly popular one. the announcement being hailed with hearty 
cheers. 

Beagle field trials were now firmly established, but meantime 
a strong factional feeling had developed among the Massachu- 
setts officers of the club, and to assure harmony and the con- 
tinued success of the organization, it was deemed best to trans- 
fer the headquarters to New York. Mr. H. L. Kreuder was 
elected president for 1893, and with his election the control of 
ihe National Club passed from New England. 



CHAPTER IIL 




Two New Beagle Clubs Oganited— Personnel of the Membership — The New 

England and Northwestern Trials and the Winners — 

The National Trials. 

The year 1893 witnessed the organization of 
two new Beagle elnbs. In Massachusetts a 
number of sportsmen believed that the re- 
moval of the headquarters of the National 
Club from Boston to New York left room for 
a new club in the Eastern States, and at a 
meeting held at the Boston Dog Show the New 
England Beagle Club sprang into existence. 
Mr. F. W. Chapman was elected president and Mr. W. S. 
Clark, secretary. Others prominent in the formation of the 
club were Messrs. H. S. Joslin and A. D. Fiske. now president 
and secretary, respectively: H. V. Jamieson, Thomas Shall - 
cross, Howard Almy and Henry Hanson, and in its mem- 
bership list appeared the names of many who were 
also members of the National Club. About the same time 
Western admirers of the little hound formed the Northwestern 
Beagle Club, Avith Mr. Gr. A. Buckstaff as president and Mr. 
Louis Steffen as secretary. Prominent among the members then 
and later were Messrs. H. A. Dillingham, E. H. Rummele, F. 
W. Bender, Tlieo. Zchetzsche, C. Niss, Jr., Truman Sears, F. F. 
Merrill and others. 

With the increase in the number of clubs the trials aj\- 
imally assumed greater importance, and the large attendance, 
growing entry list and increasing interest have l)een most grati- 
fyi]ig to all Beagle lovers. But in this brief review of Beagle 
liistory it will not be possible to speak of all the houuds 
that have distinguished themselves in the various trials, or 



22 THE BEAGLE AND 

even to give a brief summary of each event. Even if time and 
space permitted, such an emimeration would too closely resem- 
ble a page from the stud book to be of interest to the general 
reader. Eather will it be the endeavor of the writer to recount 
incidents of the trials and speak of those hounds whose work 
seems to him to have been of particular merit. 

The New England and Northwestern trials of "93 were both 
remarkable for the splendid work done in the Derby. In the 
lormcr, Mr. H. A. P. Smith's Louie Fitz Lee and Mr. Thomas 
ShalJeross' Buckshot were hot rivals for first honors. Louie 
was hnally declared the winner, but not till three hours had been 
ronsnmed in a race which tested speed, nose and endurance to 
I lie utmost. Indeed, there have been few, if any, Derby entries 
that have shown the all-round hunting qualities which these 
two then diplayed, and the race will live long in Beagle annals. 
Louie also won third in the all-age and specials for the best 
starter, most effective ranging and greatest sustained speed. He 
was entered in the '94 trials, but just before they were run was 
stolen from his handler, and no trace of him was ever discov- 
ered. Buckshot won first in the All- Aged stake at the National 
Trials of '94, and has other prizes to his credit which have made 
his name well known. 

But the interest in these trials did not end with the Derby. 
The champion class, in which Middleton Kennels' Snow, Forest 
Kennels' June Eose and Glenrose Kennels' Gypsy A. were en- 
tered, was an eventful contest. Snow was out of form, but the 
race between June and Gypsy was long and exciting. After they 
had been down for an hour and a half, the judges announced 
their inability to agree, and asked that a third judge be ap- 
pointed. The owners would not accede to the request, and it 
looked as if the deadlock could not be broken. Finally, a cap- 
lured rabbit was loosed in the centre of a large field. It was now 
1 o'clock, the day was very hot and dry, and it seemed impossible 
that any Beagle could carry the trail over the parched grass. 
Gypsy could not lift it, but June slowly followed every twist 
and turn to the woods, and won the race by as fine an exhibition 
of trailing as has ever been seen. She was a Beagle of wonderful 
nose, great speed and endurance, and unusual hunting sense.

MR. BRADFORD S. TURPIN'S CLYDE. 

Roxbury, Mass. 

Field Champion Clyde was whelped April 26. 18S8. He is by Champion 
Frank Forest, ex Sue Forest, and was bred by Mr. Arthur Parry of 
Franklin Park, Mass. On the bench he won first at Lynn in 1891 and first 
at Boston in 1892. In the field he carried off first prizes in the 13-inch All- 
Age Dog Stake at the National Trials of 1891 and 1892, and won the Cham- 
pion Stalte at the New England Trials in 1893. He is a handsomely 
marked white, black and tan, 18 pounds in weight, 12 inches in height, 
with a chest measure of 19% inches and an earage of 15% inches. He is 
the sire of the field trial winners Champion Trick, Champion Queenie, 
Champion Dimes Delia, Phantom, Ida Novice and Dime's Dolly.

2^ THE BEAQLE AND 

The great event of the National Trials of '93 was the contest 
between Mr. Pottinger Dorse/s Fade, a bench-legged Beagle of 
the type common in the dog shows of the early '80s, and Mr. Geo. 
y. Reed's Spot R. The race was an exhibition of speed and nose 
well worth witnessing, and was close and exciting from start to 
finish. How a dog built on Fade's lines could go so fast has been 
;n) enigma ever since. The judges awarded first to Fade and 
second to Spot K. A protest was at once entered by Mr. H. V. 
Jamieson, the owner of the third prize winner, Gypsy Forest, 
on the ground that Fade was not a Beagle of the type called 
lor by the entry blank of the National Beagle Club. After due 
deliberation and several meetings tlie field trial committee sus- 
tained the protest, and Fade was disqualified. The case at the 
time created considerable excitement and some bitter feeling, 
which, however, was happily forgotten in the course of future 
trials. 

The inaugural trials of tl\e Northwestern Club, as already 
stated, were remarkable for the work done by the Derby win- 
ner, Dillingham & Rummele's May Fly. By dashing work she 
defeated the winners in all other classes and won the Buckstaff 
nu'dal, given for the best Beagle at the trials. In the following 
year she again became absolute winner over 28 starters, and thus 
made a truly remarkable record. These second trials were run 
off in wretched weather, the ground being covered vnih. snow, 
;iud constant storms delaying the sport. The stars of the third 
trial were Dr. A. White's Speedie and Mr. G. A. Buckstaff's 
Iioyal Dick, both of whom won championships at this meet. The 
club made all arrangements for the fourth trials, but the entries 
were so few that they were abandoned, and the club, not long 
;iftevward. disbanded. 

Easily the best hound at the New England Trials of "94 was 
Mr. IT. S. Joslin's Jean A^al Jean. He was a tireless hunter, 
careful but quick in his work, with a splendid nose and great 
courage and endurance. He won first in the All-Age class, and 
followed up his success by carrying oft' the title of champion. 
Doubtless he would have been heard of at future trials, had he 
not come to an untimely end in the follo\ving spring. While 
hunting alone he fell through the rotten planks which covered

meeting oi" the club Mr. Joslin succeeded Mr. Chapman as presi- 
dent, an office to which he has been annually re-elected ever 
since. 

The National Club in "9-i abandoned Xanuet, where three 
trials had been held, and chose Hempstead, N. Y., as the scene 
of its fifth meet. The grounds proved to be well adapted to the 
(Hub's purposes, being level, comparatively free from briers and 
underbrush, and comprising many large weed fields, where it was 
l)ossible to see every movement of the Beagles. The attendance 
was larger than ever before and the rabbits were found to be 
splendid runners. Indeed, so plentiful were the rabbits and so 
good the grounds that on the last day of the trials no less than 
14 races were decided — a number which has never yet been 
('([ualed and which promises to remain the record for some time 
to come. 

The week opened with an amusing incident. An agent of the 
8. P. C. A. made his appearance at Eoth's Hotel, the club's head- 
(|uarters, and forbade the running of the trials. He stated that 
he had learned from a New York paper that the trials were to be 
run upon cats, and such barbarous sport would not be per- 
mitted I He was a rather brusque gentleman, but he was blessed 
with a sense of humor, and after the matter was explained ap- 
preciated the joke almost as much as the members of the club. 

Among the Beagles that made their debut here were Mi-. 
(ieorge F. Reed's Nell R., Mr. D. F. Summers' Lucy S. and Mr. 
\\. Saxby's Dime. All of them took rank among the winners and 
began that field-trial career which has since made their names 
familiar to all lovers of the little hounds. The champion classes 
were won by Rockland Kennels' Frank Forest, the absolute 
winner of the first trials, and Mr. N. A. Baldwin's Laddie. The 
latter secui'ed his title by defeating Spot R. and Zillah, and 
jiroved himself an industrious, merry worker and fine driver. 
1 1 is win was a popular one, and was greeted with cheers for him 
and his owner. 



CHAPTER IV, 




The New England and National Trials of 1895 — Organization of ttie Central 

Beagle Club — The National Trials of 1896 — Winners 

at the New England Trials of 1896. 

The stars of the New England trials of 1895 
were Mr. George F. Eeed's Spark R.. Mr. A. D. 
Fiske's Lady Novice and Mr. Thomas Shall- 
eross' Baronet. Spark E., a son of Mr. Reed's 
famous Skip, to whom so many of the promi- 
nent bench and field winners of the day trace 
their lineage, won the 15-inch All- Aged stake by 
dashing work, and then walked over for the 
title of champion. In the 13-inch Champion class Lady Novice, 
who had distinguished herself in the initial trials of the club, 
met Mr. Henry Hanson's Olaf of Denmark and Mr. Reed's Spot 
R. The struggle between these three cracks was exciting from 
start to finish. All were carefully trained, under excellent control 
and ran in a style worthy of the class in which they competed. 
The final race between Spot and Lady was a splendid exhibition 
of speed, nose and hunting sense, and the latter was declared the 
winner after one of the closest contests ever seen in New Eng- 
land. In the Derby, Baronet, a recent importation from Eng- 
land, signalized his first public appearance in his new home by 
winning premier honors. He then followed up his success by 
carrying off the special prize offered for the best Beagle in the 
trials. In this event he met the newly-crowned champions. 
Spark R. and Lady Novice, and succeeded in lowering their 
colors. The three were run as a pack, and the race, which took 
place in an open pasture, was the great event of the meet. There 
was little to choose between the contestants, but Baronet caught 
the judges' eye and secured the award. In the following week 



28 THE BEAGLE AiVI) 

he won lirst in the Xational Derby, and thus completed as bril- 
liant a year's record as has been made by a.ny young hound since 
the trials were instituted. 

The Xational trials of the year were again held at Hempstead. 
X. Y., and interest centred in the 15-inch All- Aged stake for 
bitches and in the small champion class. In the former Mr. ('. 
Staley Doub's Triumph won a signal victory, defeating such 
celebrities as Mr. I). F. Summers' Lucy S., Mr. Reed's Nell K. 
and Mr. William Saxby's Dime and Bessie. x\ more perfect com- 
biiuition of speed and nose than Triumph has not been seen in 
the hunting field. In seeking for game she showed great perse- 
verance and hunting sense, and after the rabbit was found she 
ran at a killing pace true to the line. Her race with Lucy S. will 
long be remembered as one of the fiercest ever seen at a field 
trial. Both hounds came from rabbit-killing packs and pressed 
their quarry at wonderful speed. They ran to kill, and would 
surely have succeeded had the rabbit not found refuge on 
plowed ground. There it squatted, completely exhausted, and 
the judges, who had kept in with the chase by hard sprinting, 
were but little better off than the rabbit. As for the handlers 
and spectators, they were left far behind, and it was some time 
before their whereabouts were ascertained and the party re- 
united. Triumph won by superior speed, nose and hunting qual- 
ities, and conclusively proved her right to a niche in the Beagles' 
temple of fame. Her win was as popular as it was deserved, and 
her owner received the heartiest congratulations. 

In the small champion class Mr. Eeed's Spot R. again met Mr. 
Baldwin's Laddie, and this time the little lady from Vermont 
turned the tables on her rival and won the coveted title. The 
race between these little crackajacks was a fine exhibition of 
Beagle work, and showed beyond question that the best of the 
smaller hounds can do as brilliant and dashing work as the best 
of their larger brethren, the only difference being in the rate of 
speed at which they drive. 

Early in 1896 there were rumors of the formation of two new 
Beagle clubs, but only one was actually organized. This, under 
the name of the Central Beagle Club, was founded by Pennsyl- 
\ania sportsmen, and filled the place in the Beagle club ranks

left vacant by the disbaiidineiit of the Northwestern Club. Its 
first officers were: Dr. S. W. Hartt, president; Mr. A. C. Peter- 
soil, vice-i)resideiit, and Mr. L. 0. Seidel, secretary-treasurer. 
Others prominent at its organization and first trials were Dr. 
W. E. Johnston, Messrs. J. W. Simpson, J. A. Phillips, Tlieo. 
Bollji, D. F. Summers and Frank Golla. Its inaugural meet 
was held at Waynesburg, Pa., and the principal winners were 
i^eagles that had already made records in the trials of the senior 
clubs. The speedy Panic, then owned by Mr. James McAleer, 
repeated her Northwestern win, and Lucy S. showed that she 
could run as well in Pennsylvania as at Hempstead or Oxford. 
The trials were also notable for the fact that a brace stake was 
run for the first time at any trials, and a class open to Dachs- 
Inmds lilled with two entries. The work done by these German 
re23reseiitatives was fairly good, but not of sufficient merit to 
make them dangerous rivals of the Beagles, with their sweet 
voices and dashing style. The meet was a success and the club 
has since increased in strength and membership, and done much 
to foster the love of the Beagle in Western Pennsylvania. 

The National trials of 1896 were marked by the running of a 
Futurity stake for the first time. Interest in this event was well 
sustained for a year or two, but it has since been abandoned, as 
it was, in most cases, merely a minor edition of the Derby. For 
the first time, too, the pack stakes took the prominent position 
to which they are justly entitled, and to many this contest was 
the most interesting of the week. First prize was won by Mr. D. 
F. Summers' pack, consisting of Lucy S., Belle S., Minnie S. and 
Summers' Fly. They ran with great speed, packed beautifully 
and gave an exhibition of hunting and driving which excited gen- 
eral admiration. The 15-inch All- Aged class was a particularly 
interesting one, and the contest between Mr. Pottinger Dorsey's 
Pilot, Mr. Summers' Lucy S., Mr. Reed's Nell R., Mr. Kreuder's 
Blanche and Mr. Howard x\lmy's Lewis was sharp and exciting. 
The judges had no easy task in deciding upon the relative 
merits of these flyers. They were, however, finally placed in the 
order mentioned, and Mr. Dorsey then followed up his success 
in the open class by also winning the Champion stake with Pilot. 
In this race he defeated the well-known Buckshot, and thus for

SJ^ THE BEAGLE AND 

the second time in his field-trial career had the satisfaction of 
winning a championship in competition. This was the last meet 
the veteran sportsman ever attended. He died the following fall 
while hunting, surrounded by his friends and by the Beagles 
he loved so well. His memory will ever be treasured by a host 
of friends. 

The Futurity and Derby of that year are made memorable 
by the first public appearance of Mr. Summers' Belle S., Mr. H. 
S. Joslin's Trick and Mr, Reed's Millard E,., since purchased by 
Mr. A. J. Purinton. All of these hounds are now well known by 
their work in subsequent trials. At that time Belle S. had the 
honor of winning both stakes, while Trick and Millard had to 
l)e satisfied with second prizes. 

At the JSTew England trials of 1896 the closest competition 
was in the Futurity and the 15-inch All-Aged stake. The former 
was won by Mr. Reed's Scorcher and the latter by his Nell R. 
The winning of these two important events was a triumph for 
the Vermont sportsman, upon which he received many congrat- 
ulations. ISTell then ran in tlie champion class, and in winning 
the title brought to a close a memorable career. She had started 
ill eight events and had won a place in seven of them. She also 
liad to her credit many notable special prizes won at the field 
trials, and in addition a list of bench winnings of which any 
Beagle might be proud. Nearly all her prizes, botli bench and 
field, were won in large classes and hot competition, and judg- 
ing her on her record, she stands unequaled today among the 
Beagles of her sex. 




CHAPTER V, 

The Field Trials of 1897-98— Winners at the Meet— Results of the Work ol 

the Field-Trial Men and the Beagle Qubs — List of Those Who 

Have Officiated as Judges. 

Hempstead was again the scene of the Na- 
tional Trials in 1897. The long entry list and 
excellent attendance deserved the hest of sport. 
Babbits, however, were few and hard to find, 
and this scarcity of game somewhat marred 
the pleasure of the meet. The event of the 
week was the Pack stake, which was sharply 
contested, and resulted in a victory for Mr. N. A. Bald- 
win. In his pack were Ada B.. Rocket, Lancer and Another. 
They hunted well,packed beautifully and drove at an even speed, 
with plenty of music. Both the Futurity and Derby were won 
by Summers' Sailor, and first honors in the All- Aged stake fell 
to Belle S. and Stump. The Franklin Kennels owned these 
three flyers, and in thus carrying off four first prizes made a 
record of which it might well be proud. All of these hounds 
were eager and tireless in hunting, and showed wonderful snap 
and dash in driving. Mr. Baldwin pressed the Franklin Ken- 
nels closely for the honors of the meet, winning three second 
prizes with Lancer and Another, in addition to the first honors 
in the Pack stake. 

The New England Trials of the year were comparatively un- 
interesting. The number of entries was large, but the compe- 
tition suffered from a lax enforcement of the running rules. In 
a desire to accommodate exhibitors, the order of drawing was 
not adhered to in running, and Beagles which, under the rules. 
should have been kept off the grounds, were allowed to com- 



.J6 THE BEAGLE AND 

pete. This resulted in a number of unsatisfactory races and a 
dull meet. 

The principal prizes fell to Mr. H. S. Joslin's Cora J., Frank- 
lin Kennels' Maggie S. and Stump and Mr. John MuUane's 
Prince. 

The closing event of the season was the meet of the Central 
J3eagle Cluh at Rice's Landing, Pa. Heavy rain and snow inter- 
fered with the week's sport. Mr. James McAleer came to the 
front, carrying off the blue ribbon in both the All-Aged Open 
(^lasses, with Kitty and Little Hornet, and Franklin Kennels" 
Stump then crowned her field-trial career by defeating Kitty in 
the Champion class, thus winning the title in one of the hottest 
races of the trials. 

The various meets of 1898 were successful, though all suffered 
from the lack of game. The National Club held its trials at 
Hillsdale, N. J., and was honored with the largest entry in 
its history to that time. The promises of abundant game, 
however, which drew the club to the new location, were unfortu- 
nately not fulfilled. Much valuable time was wasted in the 
search for suitable grounds that held game, and there were 
many provoking delays occasioned by the bolting of badly 
trained Beagles. This resulted in the calling off of the Derby 
and Brace stakes for lack of time to run them. The competi- 
tion in the other events was close and interesting throughout. 

The Pack stake was the feature of the meet. Six packs were 
entered, and premier honors fell to Mr. H. L. Kreuder's team, 
composed of Pilot, June, Blanche and Kitty. They were under 
remarkable control, hunted with excellent judgment, harked in 
quickly, and when driving could have been covered with the tra- 
ditional blanket. Their cry, too, was the sweetest heard during 
tbe week. 

In the All- Aged 15-ineh stake for dogs interest centred in the 
race for first honors between Mr. H. S. Joslin's Trick and Mr. A. 
J. Purinton's Millard E. Both possessed enviable field-trial rec- 
ords and were well known as speedy drivers and keen hunters. 
Their reputation as high-class Beagles was sustained in their 
race, which, by good fortune, took place in an open field, where 
every movement of both hounds could be easily seen. Trick

finally snatched victory from his rival after an unusually pretty 
exhibition of Beagle work. 

In the corresponding class for bitches, Mr. John G. Reed's 
Splitter, a daughter of the speedy Triumph, sustained the 
honors of her ancestry, and by dashing work won first in a field 
of eleven starters. 

Closer competition than that in the 13-iuch All- Aged stake, 
with its 11 contestants, has rarely "been seen at a Beagle trial. 
Mr. G. B. Kerr's Staley, Waldingfield Beagles' Orator, Hemp- 
stead Beagles" Fearless and Mr. George F. Reed's Snifter R. D. 
\\ere hot rivals for first place. All were merry, eager hunters, 
with that dash in their work which is characteristic of the best 
of the small hounds. After a brilliant contest, in which Ora- 
tor's work in running three hard races in succession is worthy 
of especial praise, they were placed in the order just mentioned. 

The New England Trials were notable for Mr. William 
Saxby's success in winning both the All- Aged stakes, the 15- 
inch, with Dime's Delia, who made her field-trial debut there, 
and the 13-inch with Bessie. Both these Beagles returned to 
their kennels with the title of champion, and Mr. Saxby, who 
had boon a constant supporter of the trials for a number of 
years, was the recipient of hearty congratulations. 

The star of the Central Club's Trials, at Latrobe, Pa., was 
Mr. G. B. Kerr's Staley, who had won his spurs at the National 
Trials two weeks before. He won both the 13-inch Derby and 
tho corresponding All- Aged class, and then completed his record 
by defeating Little Hornet in the Champion stake and securing 
the coveted title. Other Beagles worthy of notice at this meet 
were Mr. L. .). Tomer's Spry and Guyasuta Kennels' Winona 
and May wood. 

The last meet of the year was that of the Monongahela Val- 
ley Game and Fish Protective Association, which held its inaug- 
ural trials on its preserves, near Carmichaels, Pa., late in No- 
vember. The entry list was a promising one, but owing to a 
severe storm, which left the ground covered with snow, there 
were but five starters in two classes. Mr. A. C. Peterson's Sailor 
won the 13-inch All-Aged stake, and Homeville Kennels' Lady 
Linda the corresponding 15-inch class.

CHAPTER VL 




The National Trials of 1899— Largest Entry in the History of Beagle Trials 

— The New England and the Central Beagle Club's Trials — 

Winners at the Various Meets. 

The National Trials of 1899 were without 
question the most successful in the history of 
the Club. Fifty-six Beagles were entered in 
the various stakes, and this large number — 
which does not include those running in the 
packs — caused serious misgivings as to the 
possibility of completing the trials in the week 
allotted to them. These fears, however, proved to be ground- 
less, and the largest entry in the history of Beagle trials was run 
off in three days. 

The scene of the week's sport was some six miles from Hemp- 
stead, ]Sr. Y., at Wheatley Hills, the beautiful estate of Hon. W. 
C. Whitney, who generously granted the Club the use of his 
grounds. Eabbits were plentiful in the briery thickets, and 
when started usually took to the open, often crossing the lawns 
and flower beds and giving the spectators a splendid view of the 
chase. With plenty of game and grounds that offered the judges 
an opportunity to see practically all of the running, the trials 
progressed rapidly. 

One couple of hounds succeeded another at short intervals, 
and there were none of those long, tedious hunts for game 
which characterized the previous years' trials at Hillsdale, N". J. 
The interest of the spectators and contestants never flagged, 
and there was a snap and a go about it all that was fairly ex- 
hilarating. The hounds, too, were under better control than 
ever before, and it was evident that the new running rules,. 



^^ THE BEAGLE AND 

which permitted the judges to drop an unruly Beagle from com- 
petition without seeing him upon game, had induced more care- 
ful training in preparation for the trials than ever in the past. 
Lost or disobedient Beagles were rarely in evidence. 

The All-Age, 15-inch class, on account of the large number 
of entries, was divided by sex. Among the dogs Mr. George 
A. Clark's Murra}'-, Mr. Charles R. Stevenson's Dorsey's Wood- 
man and Mr. George F. Reed's Bellman and Prompter came to 
the front in a field of 14 starters. The former drove at great 
speed and in excellent form and won in a close decision. Wood- 
man, who carried off second honors for his new owner, will be 
remembered for as fine a piece of trailing as ever was seen at a 
field trial. Inch by inch he followed a cold track across plow and 
open till he located his rabbit in a pile of rails. It was a bit of 
careful Beagle work, which excited general admiration and re- 
called to the veterans the remarkable work of June Rose at the 
TSIew England Trials of 1893. Bellman and Prompter, kennel 
mates, were hot rivals for third place, and the judges finally di- 
vided the honor between them. 

In the 15-inch Bitches, Scorcher R.'s dash, nose and splendid 
hunting carried her to the fore and added another blue ribbon 
to Mr. George F. Reed's collection. Waldingfield Beagles' 
Dahlia, wonderfully improved since her debut of the preceding 
year, was in second place, and third went to Lucy L., who thus 
won the first trial honors credited to the Rockridge Beagles. 

The competition in both sections of the 15-inch Open stake 
had been keen, but in the 13-inch class it was even closer. The 
smaller hounds have frequently given a more dashing exhibi- 
tion than their larger brethren, and they did so at this year's 
meet. Waldingfield Beagles' Orator, whose splendid perform- 
ance at Hillsdale in 1898 had not been forgotten, ran with all 
the fire that made him such a favorite at that time. His race 
with Mr. George F. Reed's Reed's Fancy was the longest and 
fastest of the trials, and as an exhibition of speed and nose was 
the event of the Open stake. 

With scarcely a break in the tonguing these crackajacks 
pressed their quarry at a killing pace for a quarter of an hour, 
driving with equal ease over plowed land and through briery 



THE FIELD TRIALS. A3 

thickets. Orator received the decision, with Fancy a close sec- 
ond. Third fell to Mr. F. H. Taylor's Pinnie, whose race with 
Hempstead Beagles' Merry Lass was only second in interest to 
that between Orator and Fancy. Lass was not in form for so 
long and hard a race, and Pinnie, who was in the very pink of 
condition, finally won much as she pleased, but not till her com- 
petitor had shown that she possessed unusual gameness and 
hunting qualities of great merit. Lass received the fourth prize. 

In the Derby, Wharton's Driver won a blue ribbon for the 
Wharton Beagles. In the Champion stake Mr. D. F. Summers' 
Belle S. was easily the star, snatching the desired title from 
Eockridge Beagles' Pilot and Mr. George A. Clark's Murray. 
Belle's work was worthy of the unsurpassed record which she 
made in previous competitions. In seeking game she displayed 
rare courage in entering, without orders, a dense snarl of bull- 
briers which more than one Beagle, even when driving, had re- 
fused, and after the rabbit was up she ran at a dashing pace 
true to the trail. She was honest in all she did and her work 
was well nigh perfect. 

It was in the pack races, however, that the interest of the 
trials centred. The work in the other stakes having been fin- 
ished on Thursday night, two days were left for the packs. TJn- 
fortunatel}'-, one day was wasted in an attempt to run the stake 
in the open grounds about Hempstead, but a return to Wheat- 
ley Hills on Saturday brought the trials to a successful finish. 
The interest in these stakes, which promise in time to become 
the chief events of the trial week, was shown not so much by the 
number of entries as by the care which had evidently been given 
them in preparation. With one exception all the teams were 
under control and hunted and drove as packs. The improve- 
ment was marked and among the five entries there were four 
teams, any one of which would have been an easy winner two 
years ago. 

Mr. D. F. Summers' pack gave the best exhibition of hunting, 
and in driving was equal to any of its rivals. It was composed 
of Summers' Wood, Summers' Bess, Lucy S. and Belle S., and in 
winning the blue ribbon brought for the second time the highest 
honors of the Pack stake to Mr. Su m mers. Lucy S. and Belle 



U TEE BEAOLE AND 

S. were in the winning team of 1896. Rockridge Beagles car- 
ried off the second prize and reserve went to the level, handsome 
team of the Hempstead Beagles. The Wharton Beagles' sorty 
pack also made an excellent showing and was hiit little hehind 
the leaders. 

The trials were notable for the first competition for the Na- 
tional Challenge Cup, which is to he awarded annually to teams 
of four Beagles till it has been won three times, 50 points being 
allowed for field performance and 50 for general levelness and 
show qualities. Rockridge Beagles' superior bench form more 
than counterbalanced the better field work of the Summers 
pack, and the Connecticut team won a leg of the handsome 
trophy, with the Pennsylvania flyers in reserve. Hempstead 
Beagles' strong team did not compete. 

The trials of the New England Club were held at Oxford. 
Mass., and suffered from the same scarcity of game that made 
the meet of 1898 dull and uninteresting. The 15-inch All-Age 
stake was divided by sex and the sharpest competition was 
found among the dogs. The deciding race between Mr. A. D. 
Fiske's Phantom and Mr. Thomas Shall cross' Baronet was the 
best run of the entire week. It was a brilliant exhibition, but 
as the rain was falling in torrents, it was witnessed by few be- 
sides the judges and handlers. Phantom's truer driving gave 
him the blue, while the red went to Baronet, with Mr. George F. 
Reed's Bellman taking third place, as he had done at the 
National Trials of the preceding week. 

Waldingfield Beagles' Dahlia, by speedy driving and eager 
hunting, won first in the 15-inch Bitch class, and in the 13-inch 
Stake Mr. A. D. Fiske's Queenie, trained to the minute, had lit- 
tle difficulty in overthrowing her rivals. She then walked over 
in the Championship class. 

The 15-inch Champion stake promised excellent sport and 
did not disappoint those who followed the hounds. Mr. H. S. 
Joslin's Trick, with keen nose, unsurpassed judgment and abun- 
dant speed, won the title, defeating Dahlia and Pilot, the re- 
serve going to the former. This week was one of triumph for 
Mr. A. D. Fiske, as Trick. Phantom and Queenie, the winners 
of four first i)rizes at these trials, were all bred in his kennels. 
H(^ was heartily congratulated on all sides.

^6 THE BEAGLE AND 

Wliile the regular stakes were a bit wearisome, on account 
of the scarcity of game, yet the meet will always be memorable 
for the running of the Hempstead Beagles' stake. This was an 
eight-hour race, open to Beagles entered in the regular classes, 
with the proviso that each owner could enter but one hound. 
There were eight entries, and the sport from morning till 
night was brilliant. The hounds, much to the general surprise, 
both hunted and drove as a pack. They were worked in the 
thick cover and dense swamps where game was comparatively 
plenty. One drive quickly succeeded another, and the rabbits 
ran farther and better than they were ever known to have done 
in Oxford before. 

The day was the most interesting in the Club's history, and 
tested as never before the endurance and hunting qualities of 
the Beagles. Mr. George F. Reed's Bellman secured the blue 
ribbon by dashing, heady work, combined with splendid endur- 
ance and excellent hunting qualities. He was bred by Mr. J. L. 
Kernochan, who offered the prizes in the stake, and whose large 
importations of Beagles from England have done so much for 
the improvement of the little hound in this country. 

Second prize went to Mr. Thomas Shallcross' Baronet, who 
made a strong bid for first honors, and third fell to Mr. A. D. 
Fiske's Phantom. The stake proved to be a great success. 
From a spectacular point there never was a contest at any 
time to compare with it, and it deserves to be repeated at future 
meets. 

The final meet of the year was that of the Central Beagle 
Club at Carmichaels, Pa. The attendance of members and spec- 
tators was excellent and the trials were considered the best in 
the Club's history. The stars of the open classes were Guy- 
^suta Kennels' ]\Iaywood and Mr. F. H. Taylor's Pinnie. Both 
tvere well kno^vn from their work in previous trials, and they 
won first honors in the 15-inch and 13-inch All-Age stakes, re- 
spectively. In the corresponding Champion classes, however, 
they were forced to give Avay to Gu3^asuta Kennels' Winona and 
Little Hornet. These kennels made a proud record, carrying off 
four first prizes, and dividing the honors of the meet with Mr. 
A. C. Peterson's Sailor, the sire of both champions, the first

prize winner in the 13-inch class and both second prize winners 
in the Derby. The trials closed with the contest for the Club 
cups. The trophy for 13-inch Beagles fell to Mr. J. A. Schaum's 
Harker S., and the 15-inch cup went to Mr. Theodore Bollji's 
Lady Linda. 

The field-trial men who have been with the Beagle clubs since 
the early days of the trials have good reason to congratulate 
themselves upon the result of their work. It is largely due to the 
trials that the Beagle holds a foremost place among the hunt- 
ing dogs of the day, and the success of the trials can, in great 
measure, be traced to the thoroughly sportsmanlike spirit that 
has always animated the owners of the contesting hounds, as 
well as to the careful, impartial work of the judges. Indeed, 
the chief points in which the Beagle trials have excelled those 
held for other hunting dogs have been the universal desire that 
the best Beagles should come to the front, regardless of owner- 
ship, and the sportsmanlike way in which defeat has been ac- 
cepted by the losers. 

There has been but little jealousy. The so-called "kicking'' 
element has never been in evidence to any extent, and the dis- 
appointment which is inseparable from defeat has almost in- 
variably been hidden under the congratulations heaped upon the 
victors. 

The writer does not claim that no mistakes have been made 
by the judges. All men are liable to err, and Beagle judges are 
only mortal. But it is safe to say that their mistakes have been 
those of judgment and not of intention, and that they have al- 
ways performed their difficult tasks to the best of their ability. 

The winning hounds, as a rule, have been those that hunted 
eagerly and with judgment for their game, and after it was 
found drove fast and true. Speed without nose, driving ability 
without the desire to hunt, hunting qualities without the skill 
to drive, incessant babbling or mute running have almost in- 
variably resulted in defeat. Honors have fallen to the hounds 
that best displayed those qualities which go to make up the ideal 
Beagle. 

Among those who have acted as judges are many whose names 
are familiar. Messrs. John Davidson, Charles Sidler and

Louis Steffen have officiated at the Northwestern Trials; Dr. W. 
E. Johnston^ Messrs. Harry Lewis, J. W. Simpson, A. C. Peter-

Parry, H. B. Tallman and Thomas Shallcross at the New

tinger Dorsey at the National Trials; Messrs. C. W. Quynn, Geo. 
B. Appleby and Bradford S. Turpin at the National and New- 
England and Mr. W. S. Clark at the National, New England 
and Northwestern. 

This brief review of Beagle history necessarily leaves much 
unsaid. There has been no opportunity to mention, many 
gentlemen whose love of sport has induced them to work persist- 
ently and successfully to bring the little hound into populai- 
favor. Then, too, many Beagles whose field record deserves a 
word of praise have been passed over in silence, and nothing at 
all has been said of those beautiful hounds that have won honors 
at the various bench shows. Many more chapters might be added, 
but enough has been written to show that Beagle interests rest 
today upon a firmer foundation than ever before and that the 
little hound bids fair in time to become the most popular of the 
sporting breeds.

Pleasures of Hunting With the^Bsagle — The Adaptability [oi the Beagle as a 

Hunting Dog — Advice to the Amateur in the Selection of a Pack — 

The Fascination of Hunting With the Beagle. 

The great popularity which the Beagle has 
won for himself in recent years is well de- 
served, and this little book should not be 
brought to an end without speaking of those 
characteristics which make him a general fa- 
vorite. Field trials and bench shows have 
served to bring him to public notice, but it is 
his innate qualities which have won for him a firm place in the 
heart of every lover of outdoor life. 

As a pet he is handsome, affectionate and intelligent, and as 
a hunting dog he is active and strong, with the keenest nose and 
the sweetest voice of any of the hound family. His patience and 
perseverance in seeking his game are tireless, and his energy 
and courage in pursuit of it unbounded. At home or afield he is 
always a gentleman and an agreeable companion. 

The sportsman who is wedded to his Pointers and Setters,who 
believes there is no sport worth following outside the whirr of 
the grouse or quail, usually looks with little interest upon the 
tiny pack and regards the humble rabbit as far beneath his 
notice. But on some clear, still October morning, when there 
is a suspicion of frost in the air, and the woods are gorgeous 
with the hues of autumn, he is persuaded to go out with the 
Beagles for the first time. 

The hounds are ordered into a promising swamp and all is 
quiet. The tyro in rabbit-hunting is bored. He thinks it a 
pity to waste a day, and is planning to slip away home for a shot

at the quail, when the musical vuicu of Millard breaks the 
silence. The other Beagles hark to him, and first one and then 
another adds his tongue as the cold trail becomes warmer. Sud- 
denly the pack breaks into full cry, and the short, quick notes of 
the little hounds tell that the rabbit is up. 

With a rush the chase dashes away through the thickets, and 
our friend becomes a bit interested, in spite of himself. Fainter 
and fainter in the distance grows the music, till it dies away into 
silence, and the race apparently comes to an end. But wait a mo- 
ment. The keen hounds have not yet lost their quarry. The rab- 
bit turns back, and with the flying pack at his heels runs directly 
toward the quail-shooter, the crack shot who prides himself 
upon his skill. He resolves to bag the game. Just then a gray 
streak flashes through the brush; he fires one barrel, then the 
other, and as the echo rolls away he catches a glimpse of the de- 
spised cotton-tail disappearing over the ridge. 

His miss makes him a trifle angry. He determines to get 
that rabbit. He is bored no longer, but hastens from one point 
of vantage to another in the attempt to get a shot. At last his 
opportunity comes, but once more he fails, and this time turns 
the rabbit sharply back. The little hounds, driving like a 
whirlwind, overrun the trail. The music ceases and the eager 
Beagles cast far and near for the lost line. Our friend becomes 
as much interested in watching the tiny pack as he was in get- 
ting a shot at the rabbit. The dash and excitement of the 
Beagles charm him, and when at last Scorcher hits the track, 
when Laddie and June and Belle and all the others hark in and 
the chase is on once more, he is almost ready to throw his hat 
in the air with a cheer and declare there is no sport like it. 

As the day wears on the tyro learns that the lowly cotton-tail 
is not by any means such a fool as he looks. He knows more 
than one trick to throw off his swift pursuers. He is an adept 
at twisting and turning and back-tracking, till his trail is noth- 
ing but a complicated snarl ; he knows enough to run the sandy 
road or the burnt ground, where scent refuses to lie, and, if nec- 
essary, he will dash through the wet swamp or even swim the 
narrow river to escape from the miniature pack. 

Our friend learns, too, that it is not bo easy to bag him as he

bounds through the thickets, that he is not game for a pottering 
shot, but that one must shoot quick and true to stop him in full 
headway. 

Before the day ends our amateur looks upon the rabbit with 
some little respect, and the Beagles rise rapidly in his estima- 
tion. He admires their courage, their endurance, their love of 
the chase, and, when at last the setting sun marks the end of 
the hunt, the bored sportsman of the morning has become the 
enthusiast of the party. The charm of the chase has made him 
its devotee. 

The Beagle is particularly adapted to the sport, which is to be 
found in the more thickly settled portions of the country. He 
is quiet, well-behaved and rarely quarrelsome. He lives at peace 
with his mates, and the pack, be it large or small, can be kept 
together in the kennel yard without danger of disturbance. His 
diminutive size makes it possible to stow a half dozen of the lit- 
tle fellows away under the seat of the hunting wagon. It costs 
but little to feed him, and his game is at home in every thicket 
and swamp. 

The grouse and quail may have disappeared as completely as 
the auk, and ducks and plover may be nothing but a tradition, 
but the humble rabbit will still be at hand to enliven a day 
afield. 

In the North is found the white hare. He inhabits the 
swamps in great numbers, and, no matter how hard he is pressed 
by the pack, he never goes to earth. He runs much like a fox, 
and frequently takes the pack out of hearing. Farther South is 
found the coney, cotton-tail, or gray rabbit, as he is variously 
called. In a rocky country this little fellow usually goes to earth 
after a short run, but in some sections of Massachusetts and 
farther South he is a bold runner, and depends more on his 
heels than on burrows for his safety. In an open country he is 
frequently run down and killed fairly on the ground by the 
Beagles. 

The sport to be obtained in such a region is without doubt 
the best seen in this country with the little hounds. Some of 
the packs of Maryland are noted rabbit-killers, and among the 
best of them are the packs of Mr. C. Staley Doub and the Red- 



56 TEE BEAGLE AND 

lands Beagles. The hounds of the late Mr. Dorsey were also 
frequently hunted without the gun, and were as good as the 
best. On a day when scent lies well it is not unusual for these 
packs to account for every rabbit started. Most of the chase is 
in the open fields, the hounds are followed on foot, and a good 
runner can see the hunt from start to finish. 

Those Beagles that are accustomed to run their game to a 
kill drive with a dash and speed that is rarely seen in packs that 
are hunted to the gun. They seem to appreciate the fact that 
there is not a moment to lose, and from jump to kill there is 
wonderful fire and snap in their work. 

The novice who desires to form a pack of Beagles should not 
begin the undertaking with the idea that it can be done in a 
month or a season. To get together a pack in which one can 
take pride is often the work of years. The hounds must be 
equal in speed; they must hark to one another quickly; they 
must work independently before the game is found, and after 
it is up they must drive at an even pace with a free tongue. They 
must be under the control of their master, hunt where he de- 
sires and come quickly to the horn. To secure a dozen or more 
hounds that will answer these requirements is no easy task, 
but when once they have been got together and are well in 
hand, one has in them a constant source of pleasure for himself 
and friends. 

Unless the amateur is willing to pay fancy prices for trained 
Beagles, he can perhaps do no better in making up his pack than 
to buy a number of youngsters from the best of hunting and 
bench stock. Let them be strong, rugged puppies, with thick 
coats, round feet, cobby bodies and typical heads. Bring them 
up together, take them into the woods constantly, and at a sur- 
prisingly early age they will begin to hunt. "With a little help 
from their owner, their improvement will be rapid, and in them, 
with ordinary good fortune, the novice will have the nucleus of 
a pack. 

Weed out the poor ones. Keep only those that do honest 
work and that drive well packed. Get rid of the babblers and 
those that are too fast or too slow. Take pride in the hounds, 
train them carefully, treat them well ; never use a whip. Do not

get tliseouraged by misfortune or seeming failure, and in tinu' 
one will have a pack in which he can justly take pride. 

The fascination of hunting with Beagles is unending. One 
can take his pack afield every day from the beginning to tbe 
close of the hunting season and not tire of the sport. He may 
l)ecome weary of shooting, and willingly leave his gun at home, 
but never will he tire of watching the work of the hounds, and 
never wdl he hear sweeter music than that of the driving pack. 
Nor will his pleasure end with the beginning of the close season. 
The still moonlight nights of summer have an added charm 
when one loiters in the woods and listens to the clear notes of 
the Beagles as they follow their timid quarry from cover to 
cover. Now near, now far, the sweet chorus rises and falls and 
weaves a spell which makes the hours fly by all too fast. In 
summer or winter, at home or afield, the well-bred, well-trained 
Beagle is a constant source of pleasure and pride.

if two dogs owned or handled by the same person should come together 
In the first or subsequent series, the second dog so owned shall change 



yt^ THE BEAGLE AND 

place with the first dog not so owned or handled. This change shall be 
made in the order of running, if possible. If not possible, then in the 
reverse order of running. The running together of two such dogs may be 
permitted when a separation is impossible, but in no other case. 

Sec. 2.— In classes for Paclvs, the Paclis shall be drawn by lot, and shall 
be run separately. 

Sec. 3.— The bye dog in any series shall run with a dog selected by the 
Judges or alone, as they may direct. 

Sec. 4.— As soon as the drawing is completed, the Secretary of the Club 
shall post in a prominent place the order of the running in the first 
series, togetlier with the time and place of starting. 

RULE 5.— After the running of the first series is finished, the Judges 
-shall announce which dogs they wish to see run again and order of run- 
ning them. Discretion is given the Judges to run the dogs as often and in 
what order they think best, until they are satisfied which are the best dogs. 

IXSTRUCTIOi\S TO JUDGES. 

RULE C— The Judges shall measure all dogs before the drawing talies 
place, and shall transfer to the proper class any dog found to be incor- 
rectly entered. The decision of the Judges shall be final. 

RULE 7. — The Judges shall appoint a spokesman from their number, 
and all orders or information upon any point concerning the heat shall 
be given by him in a clear and impartial manner, so that each handler 
may have full benefit thereof. 

RULE 8.— Should there arise at any time during the running of a 
heat questions bearing on the actual running of the dogs and not pro- 
vided for in these rules, the Judges are instructed to use their discre- 
tion, and so decide the matter as to give to each dog equal opportunities. 

RULE 9.— Each heat shall be conducted in the manner best calculated 
to give the competitors an opportunity to display the qualities under 
judgment. 

RULE 10.— The Judges shall give each brace In first series at least 
thirty (30) minutes, and shall order up the dogs as soon thereafter as 
they have determined which is the better; but if a dog persistently dis- 
obeys his handler, or is lost, the Judges may order him up at the end of 
30 minutes whether he has been seen on game or not. 

RULE 11. Section 1.— Trailing game other than announced, if the 
Judges deem the same excusable, shall not be considered a demerit. 

Sec. 2.— The Judges shall give the dog ample opportunity to discover 
whether he is on a true trail. 

Sec. 3.— The number of times a dog finds shall not necessarily give him 
the preference, but the Judges shall consider the quality of the perform- 
ance rather than the frequency of the occurrence. 

RULE 12.— In order to prevent handlers rushing or unduly exciting 
the dogs, discretion is given the Judges to try each dog of a brace sepa- 
rately on game, the competing dog being kept under restraint. 

RULE 13.— If competition is close, the Judges are requested to give 
greater credit to the dog that is obedient to the commands of his handler. 
A dog will be expected to maintain an efficient i-ange throughout a heat 
and to show hunting sense in his work. Hunting sense is shown by the 
desire to hunt for game, the selection of likely places to hunt in, the 
method of hunting the places, the industry in staying out at work, and 
the skill in handling and trailing the game after it is found. 

RULE 14.— The Judges are instructed not to place undue credit on 
speed, it being the desire of the Club that accuracy in trailing, voice, en- 



THE FIELD TRIALS. 97 

iurance, starting abilities, style and obedience be the principal points of 
merit, but nothing in the foregoing shall excuse a dog for pottering, or for 
failure to leave his handler in-hutiting his ground. Every dog will be 
expected to go on when ordered, to cover his ground thoroughly, to obey 
the commands of his handler, and to show a desire and ability to find 
game as well as to drive it. 

RULE 15.— In the classes for Packs, team work, not individual work, 
shall count. The dogs will be expected to hunt within easy distance of 
one another, to hark in quickly and to drive at an even speed well packed. 

RULE 16.— The Judges shall call to order a handler for making any 
unnecessary noise, or for any disorderly conduct calculated to interfere 
in any way with an opponent's dog. In such cases an appeal should be 
made to the Judges, but should the handler of the dog interfered with not 
ask for protection, it shall be the duty of the Judges to call the offending 
party to order, and see that this rule is at all times strictly enforced. 

RULE 17.— The Judges may announce the winners at any time after 
the second series; provided, the first and second prize winners have run 
together. 

RULE 18.— The Judges shall not divide the first prize. 

RULE 19.— The Judges shall withhold any or all prizes in any class if 
the dogs are found deficient in merit. 

A reserve shall be awarded in each class if the Judges consider a dog 
or bitch worthy of same. 

INSTRliCTION TO HANDLERS. 

RULE 20. Section 1.— Handlers while their dogs are down shall go 
together and keep within sight of the Judges and each other when pos- 
sible. 

Sec. 2.— Each dog shall be required to hunt throughout a heat, unless 
ordered up by the Judges. When so ordered up the dog shall be kept under 
restraint. 

RULE 21. Section 1.— A person selected, when ordered by the Judges, 
shall discharge one barrel of a gun over each dog or brace of dogs while 
driving. If the dog exhibits signs of gun-shyness bcth barrels should be 
discharged over him on the trail. If the dog is thus proved to be gun-shy. 
he shall be debarred from competition in the trials. 

Sec. 2.— Handlers must use blank cartridges, and guns must be car- 
ried empty. 

RULE 22.— A handler may speak or whistle to his dog or work him 
in any way he may deem proper, if not contrary to the rules of this Club, 
but he shall not make any unnecessary noise or interfere with an op- 
ponent's dog in any way. 

RULE 23.— If any handler or owner annoys the Judges after having 
been ordered to desist, the Judges may order his dog up and out of the 
stake, or may impose a fine not exceeding ten (10) dollars. 

RULE 24.— Owners and handlers are allowed the privilege of asking the 
Judges for information, or for an explanation that has a direct bearing 
upon any point at issue. Pending such questions the dogs shall not be 
under judgment. 

RULE 25.— At the commencement of a heat the handlers in the next 
heat will be notified, and must keep together until their dogs are ordered 
down. Any dog absent more than twenty (20) minutes when called, shall 
be debarred, at the discretion of the Judges. 



9S THE BEAGLE AND

RULE 26. Section 1.— Dogs afflicted with any contagious disease shall 
not be permitted on the grounds. 

Sec. 2.— Bitches in season shall not be permitted to compete except 
In classes open to bitches only. 

RULE 27.— Castrated dogs and spayed bitches will be debarred from 
running in these trials, and any dog or bitch proven to have been so run 
shall forfeit to the Club all prizes won and the owner or handler thereof 
shall be disqualified from further competition in any trial held under the 
auspices of the National Beagle Club of America. 

RULE 28. Section 1.— No persons shall be allowed to accompany the 
Judges except guides, the Marshal and the handlers of the dogs. The 
Judges may, however, allow others to accompany them as they see fit. 

Sec. 2.— Persons authorized to accompany the Judges under these rules 
will not be allowed to converse with the Judges on any subject while the 
dogs are under judgment. 

Sec. 3. — The spectators will not be allowed nearer the Judges than 
fifty (50) yards to the rear. The Marshal and Judges shall strictly enforce 
this rule. 

RULE 29.— No dog can be withdrawn during the running of a heat, 
except with the consent of the Judges. Should a dog be withdrawn with- 
out such consent, the owner or handler may be barred from further trials 
md all prizes won by such owner or handler in the stake may be forfeited 
to the Club. If any dog be withdrawn with the consent of the Judges 
from a stake on the field, or at any time during the holding of the trial, 
its owner or deputy having authority shall notify, in writing, the Secre- 
tary or one of the Field Trial Committee. If the dog belongs to either 
or any of those officials, the notice must be handed to one of the other.''. 

RULE 30.— No person shall make any remarks, or give any informa- 
tion whatever calculated to affect the action of the handlers or result of 
the heat. Any person so offending shall be expelled from the grounds, 
and points of merits shall not be allowed any dog whose handler act? 
upon information imparted by such person, or uses any unfair means 
whatever. A protest on this point must he made to the Judges before 
the close of the heat, and their decision shall be final. 

RULE .31.— .4n owner, his handler, or his deputy may hunt a dog, but 
tt must be one or the other; and when dogs are down an owner must not 
Interfere with his dog if he has deputed another person to handle and 
hunt him. 

RULE 32.— No shooting shall be done by any person unless directed 
by the Judges. When so done it shall be considered irregular shooting. 

RULE 33.— All protests, when practicable, except as hereinbefore pro- 
vided, must be made to the Secretary of the CIuId, or in case of his ab- 
sence, to one of the Field Trial Committee, at or before midnight of the 
date of running the final heat. 

TO OWXERS. 

The Club has these principles which it wishes to express, namely; 

That each and every trial is simply a trial in the true sense of the 
word, and not a competition in which the number of points made by either 
dog will necessarily count in his favor. The Club desires dogs to be shown 
to the best advantage, and assures the owners that each dog will be 
given a thorough test both as to finding and hunting qualities, as the Club 
wishes to have the best dogs placed at the front, irrespective of the luck 
which is supposed to attend competitions of this nature.
